Gever Tulley: 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do

Prevoditelj: Senzos Osijek Recezent: Romana Perković

Dobrodošli u ¨Pet opasnih stvari koje bi trebali dopustiti svojoj djeci da rade¨.

Welcome to "Five Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do."

I don't have children.

Ja nemam djece.

I borrow my friends' children, so --

Posuđujem djecu od prijatelja.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

take all this advice with a grain of salt.

Uzmite sve ove savjete sa velikom rezervom.

Ja sam Gever Tulley.

I'm Gever Tulley.

I'm a contract computer scientist by trade,

Informatičar sam po struci,

ali sam i osnivač nečega sto se zove Tinkering škola.

but I'm the founder of something called the Tinkering School.

It's a summer program which aims to help kids

To je ljetni program kojemu je cilj pomoći djeci da nauče

learn how to build the things that they think of.

izgraditi stvari koje si zamisle.

So we build a lot of things,

Tako da gradimo mnogo stvari.

and I do put power tools into the hands of second-graders.

Ja stavljam električne aparate u ruke učenika drugog razreda.

Ako mislite poslati vaše dijete u Tinkering školu,

So if you're thinking about sending your kid to Tinkering School,

they do come back bruised, scraped and bloody.

morate znati da se oni vraćaju s modricama, ogrebeni i krvavi.

(Laughter)

Dakle, mi živimo u svijetu

You know, we live in a world

that's subjected to ever more stringent child safety regulations.

koji je sve više podvrgnut sve strožim propisima o sigurnosti djece.

There doesn't seem to be any limit on how crazy

Čini se da nema granice u ludosti

child safety regulations can get.

propisa o dječjoj sigurnosti.

Stavljamo upozorenja na sve- na svaki dio plastike

We put suffocation warnings on every piece of plastic film

manufactured in the United States,

proizveden u SAD-u

or for sale with an item in the United States.

ili za prodaju u SAD-u.

We put warnings on coffee cups

Stavljamo upozorenja na šalice za kavu koja nam govore

to tell us that the contents may be hot.

da bi sadržaj šalice mogao biti vruć.

And we seem to think that any item sharper than a golf ball is too sharp

I čini se da mislimo da je svaka stvar

koja je oštrija od loptice za golf preoštra

za djecu mlađu od 10 godina.

for children under the age of 10.

Gdje ovaj trend prestaje?

So where does this trend stop?

When we round every corner and eliminate every sharp object,

Kada zaokružimo svaki ugao i uklonimo svaki oštri predmet,

every pokey bit in the world,

sve šiljasto na svijetu,

then the first time that kids come in contact with anything sharp,

djeca će se povrijediti kada prvi put dođu u kontakt s nečim oštrim

ili nečime što nije napravljeno

or not made out of round plastic,

od okrugle plastike.

they'll hurt themselves with it.

So, as the boundaries of what we determine as the safety zone

Dakle, kako se granice onoga što smo mi odredili kao zonu sigurnosti

grow ever smaller,

smanjuju, tako oduzimamo svojoj djeci vrijedna iskustva

we cut off our children from valuable opportunities

to learn how to interact with the world around them.

o tome kako se odnositi prema svijetu oko sebe.

And despite all of our best efforts and intentions,

I unatoč svim našim nastojanjima i trudu,

kids are always going to figure out

djeca će uvijek pronaći način da

naprave najopasniju stvar koju mogu,

how to do the most dangerous thing they can,

in whatever environment they can.

u bilo kojoj okolini.

(Laughter)

So despite the provocative title,

Unatoč provokativnom nazivu, ova prezentacija zapravo govori o sigurnosti i

this presentation is really about safety,

and about some simple things that we can do

o nekim jednostavnim stvarima koje možemo učiniti

to raise our kids to be creative,

da odgojimo svoju djecu da budu kreativna, samopouzdana

confident and in control of the environment around them.

i da se snalaze u okolišu oko sebe.

And what I now present to you

Ono što vam sad predstavljam je isječak iz knjige u procesu izrade.

is an excerpt from a book in progress.

The book is called "50 Dangerous Things."

Knjiga se zove „50 opasnih stvari“.

This is "Five Dangerous Things."

Ovo su 5 opasnih stvari.

Thing number one: Play with fire.

Stvar broj jedan - igranje s vatrom.

Learning to control one of the most elemental forces in nature

Naučiti kako kontrolirati jednu od elementarnih sila prirode

is a pivotal moment in any child's personal history.

važan je trenutak u dječjoj osobnoj povijesti.

Whether we remember it or not,

Pamtili mi to ili ne, to je-

it's the first time we really get control

-to je prvi put kada mi stvarno

kontroliramo jednu od tih misterioznih stvari.

of one of these mysterious things.

These mysteries are only revealed

Ti misteriji otkriveni su

to those who get the opportunity to play with it.

samo onima koji dobiju priliku igrati se s njima.

Dakle, igranje s vatrom.

So, playing with fire.

To je jedna od najvećih stvari koje smo otkrili, vatra.

This is like one of the great things we ever discovered, fire.

From playing with it, they learn some basic principles about fire,

Igrajući se s njom, (djeca) uče osnovne stvari o vatri,

about intake, combustion, exhaust.

o potpaljivanju, izgaranju, gašenju.

These are the three working elements of fire

To su tri osnovna elementa vatre

that you have to have for a good, controlled fire.

koja morate imati da biste imali dobro kontroliranu vatru.

And you can think of the open-pit fire as a laboratory.

O vatri na otvorenom možete misliti kao o laboratoriju.

You don't know what they're going to learn from playing with it.

Vi ne znate sto će oni naučiti igrajući se s njom.

Znate, pustite ih da se igraju s njom pod svojim uvjetima i vjerujte mi,

Let them fool around with it on their own terms and trust me,

they're going to learn things

naučit će stvari koje

that you can't get out of playing with Dora the Explorer toys.

ne mogu naučiti gledajući Doru istražiteljicu.

(Laughter)

Number two: Own a pocketknife.

Broj dva- posjedujte džepni nožić,

Pocketknives are kind of drifting out of our cultural consciousness,

džepni nožići polako odlaze iz naše kulturne svijesti,

which I think is a terrible thing.

što smatram jako lošom stvari.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Your first pocketknife is like the first universal tool

Vaš prvi - vaš prvi džepni nožić prvi je univerzalni alat koji ste dobili.

that you're given.

You know, it's a spatula, it's a pry bar,

Znate, lopatica,

it's a screwdriver and it's a blade, yeah.

poluga i oštrica.

And it's a powerful and empowering tool.

To je – snažan i moćan alat.

And in a lot of cultures they give knives --

U mnogim kulturama daju noževe -

like, as soon as they're toddlers, they have knives.

dok su još mala, djeca imaju noževe.

These are Inuit children cutting whale blubber.

To su djeca Inuita koja režu kitovu mast.

I first saw this in a Canadian Film Board film when I was 10,

To sam prvi put vidio u filmu Kanadskog odbora za film kada sam imao 10 godina

and it left a lasting impression,

i to je ostavilo trajni dojam na mene, gledanje djece kako se igraju noževima.

to see babies playing with knives.

And it shows that kids can develop an extended sense of self

To pokazuje da djeca mogu razviti svijest o sebi

through a tool at a very young age.

koristeći alat u ranim godinama života.

Postavite nekoliko jednostavnih pravila -

You lay down a couple of very simple rules --

always cut away from your body, keep the blade sharp, never force it --

uvijek režite od svog tijela, držite oštricu oštrom, nikad je ne silite -

and these are things kids can understand and practice with.

i to su tri stvari koje djeca mogu razumjeti i vježbati u skladu s tim.

And yeah, they're going to cut themselves.

I da, porezat će se.

Imam straše ožiljke po nogama gdje sam se ubo.

I have some terrible scars on my legs from where I stabbed myself.

But you know, they're young. They heal fast.

Ali, znate, mladi su. Brzo zacjeljuju.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

Number three: Throw a spear.

Broj tri - bacanje koplja.

It turns out that our brains are actually wired for throwing things,

Ispada da su naši mozgovi zapravo ¨navijeni¨ za bacanje stvari i,

and like muscles, if you don't use parts of your brain,

kao mišići, ako ne koristite te dijelove mozga

they tend to atrophy over time.

oni atrofiraju nakon određenog vremena.

But when you exercise them,

Ali kada ih vježbate,

any given muscle adds strength to the whole system,

svaki mišić daje snagu cijelom organizmu

and that applies to your brain, too.

i to se odnosi i na mozak također.

So practicing throwing things has been shown to stimulate

Dakle, bacanje stvari pokazalo se

stimulirajućim za frontalni i parentalni režanj,

the frontal and parietal lobes,

which have to do with visual acuity, 3D understanding,

koji imaju veze s vidnom oštrinom, razumijevanjem treće dimenzije

and structural problem solving,

i rješavanjem problemskih zadataka, tako da daju smisao -

so it helps develop their visualization skills and their predictive ability.

to pomaže razvoju njihovih vizualizacijskih vještina i predviđačke sposobnosti.

And throwing is a combination of analytical and physical skill,

Bacanje je kombinacija analitičke i fizičke vještine,

so it's very good for that kind of whole-body training.

tako da je jako dobro za vježbanje cijeloga tijela.

Ovakve vježbe

These kinds of target-based practices also help kids develop

pomažu djeci u razvijanju pozornosti i koncentracije.

attention and concentration skills,

so those are great.

Dakle, odlične su.

Number [four]: Deconstruct appliances.

Broj četiri - rastavljanje kućanskih aparata.

There is a world of interesting things inside your dishwasher.

Cijeli se svijet zanimljivih stvari nalazi u vašoj perilici za suđe.

Next time you're about to throw out an appliance,

Sljedeći put kad budete htjeli baciti aparat, nemojte.

don't throw it out.

Take it apart with your kid,

Rastavite ga zajedno sa svojim djetetom, ili ga pošaljite u moju školu

or send him to my school, and we'll take it apart with them.

pa ćemo ga zajedno rastaviti.

Even if you don't know what the parts are,

Čak i ako ne znate dijelove,

puzzling out what they might be for

razmišljati čemu služe

is a really good practice for the kids

može biti jako dobra vježba za djecu

to get sort of the sense that they can take things apart,

da stvore predodžbu da mogu rastaviti stvari,

and no matter how complex they are,

i bez obzira koliko komplicirane bile,

they can understand parts of them.

da mogu razumjeti njihove dijelove i da ih s vremenom

And that means that eventually, they can understand all of them.

mogu razumjeti u potpunosti.

It's a sense of knowability, that something is knowable.

To je osjećaj znanja, da nešto može biti spoznato.

So these black boxes that we live with and take for granted

Dakle, te crne su kutije s kojima živimo i uzimamo ih zdravo za gotovo

are actually complex things made by other people,

zapravo složene stvari koje su napravili drugi ljudi,

and you can understand them.

a mi možemo razumjeti.

Number five: Two-parter.

Broj pet - prženje.

Break the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Prekršite zakon o autorskim pravima.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

There are laws beyond safety regulations

Postoje zakoni izvan sigurnosnih propisa

that attempt to limit how we can interact with the things

koji pokušavaju ograničiti kako možemo komunicirati sa stvarima

that we own -- in this case, digital media.

koje posjedujemo - u ovom slučaju, digitalni mediji.

It's a very simple exercise:

To je vrlo jednostavna vježba - kupite pjesmu na iTunes-u, ¨prepržite¨ je na CD,

Buy a song on iTunes, write it to a CD,

then rip the CD to an MP3, and play it on your very same computer.

a zatim je s CD-a prebacite u MP3 i reproducirate je na vlastitom računalu.

You've just broken a law.

Vi ste upravo prekršili zakon.

Technically, the RIAA could come and prosecute you.

Tehnički, RIAA može doći i progoniti vas.

It's an important lesson for kids to understand,

To je važna lekcija za djecu – trebaju shvatiti

that some of these laws get broken by accident,

da se neki od zakona krše slučajno

and that laws have to be interpreted.

i da se zakone mora protumačiti.

I to je nešto o čemu mi često pričamo s djecom

That's something we often talk about with the kids

when we're fooling around with things and breaking them open,

kada se igramo sa stvarima te ih lomimo i

and taking them apart and using them for other things.

rastavljamo i koristimo za druge svrhe.

And also when we go out and drive a car.

Također kada vozimo auto.

Driving a car is a really empowering act for a young child,

Vožnja automobila je –je stvarno čin koji mlade čini moćnima,

so this is the alternate --

dakle, to je vrh.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

For those of you who aren't comfortable actually breaking the law,

Za sve vas kojima nije ugodno kršiti zakon,

you can drive a car with your child.

možete voziti automobil sa svojim djetetom.

This is a great stage for a kid.

To je - to je super pozornica za vaše dijete.

To se događa otprilike u isto vrijeme

This happens about the same time

kada se uhvate stvari, kao na primjer dinosaura,

that they get latched onto things like dinosaurs,

these big things in the outside world,

to su velike stvari u vanjskom svijetu

that they're trying to get a grip on.

koje žele shvatiti.

A car is a similar object, and they can get in a car and drive it.

Automobil je sličan predmet, a oni mogu sjesti u auto i voziti ga.

And that really gives them a handle on a world

A to je stvarno kao - to im daje upravljač nad svijetom

in a way that they don't often have access to.

na način na koji ne bi – kojemu nemaju pristup tako često.

And it's perfectly legal.

Dakle - i to je savršeno legalno.

Find a big empty lot, make sure there's nothing in it,

Nađite veliko prazno parkiralište, provjerite da ne postoji ništa u njemu

and that it's on private property, and let them drive your car.

i da je na privatnom posjedu i neka voze vaš automobil.

It's very safe actually.

To je zapravo vrlo sigurno.

And it's fun for the whole family.

I zabavno je za cijelu obitelj.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Dakle, da vidimo.

Let's see, I think that's it. That's number five and a half. OK.

Mislim da je to to. To je broj pet i pol. Ok.
